Spatial structuring, cinematic mediation, and evocative narrative elements in the design of an RT 3D VE: The Common Tales Project

摘要

The practice-based research project Common Tales investigates and formulates methods of spatial structuring, cinematic mediation, and evocative narrative elements in the design of a meaningful Real Time 3-Dimensional Virtual Environment (RT 3D VE). It is a collaboration between the Digital Studios (University of Cambridge), the National Film and Television School (NFTS), and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), and combines the know-how of the industry partner (SCEE) with academic expertise (Digital Studios) and practical knowledge of film-making (NFTS). The unique inputs into the project of the three partners combine to provide and shape insights and outcomes impossible for any of the three individually to have produced, and provide a sound template for collaborative research.
